Patent number: 7763843Abstract: The controller of the present invention includes an optical navigation system which is responsive to movement, velocity of position of a rotatable platter. The optical navigation system is responsive to rotation of the rotatable platter and is further responsive to at least one degree of freedom of tilting of the rotatable platter. The rotatable platter typically includes a textured pattern so that the optical navigation system can acquire sequential surface images of the textured pattern.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2004Date of Patent: July 27, 2010Assignee: Stanton Magnetics, Inc.Inventors: Alan Flum, James Mazur

Patent number: 6965677Abstract: The apparatus is a cross fader with a slide assembly which slidingly traverses a path defined by two parallel guide rods which pass through a partially open channels in the slider of the slide assembly. Tension plates are secured by self-tapping screws within recesses laterally adjacent to open portions of at least one of the channels. The tension plates are urged radially against the guide plates, so that the tighter the screws are secured, the tighter the tension plates are urged against the guide rods and the more frictional resistance is generated when the user moves the slider.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2001Date of Patent: November 15, 2005Assignee: Stanton Magnetics Inc.Inventors: John L. Kuykendall, Edward R. Dubinsky

Patent number: 6818815Abstract: The apparatus is a turntable assembly which includes a rotary turntable platter, a phonographic cartridge, and a tonearm for impinging the phonographic cartridge against a record on the rotary turntable platter. The record includes MIDI timing signals encoded therein. The apparatus further includes an amplifier, an analog-to-digital converter and a signal processing means for amplifying the resulting phonographic signal, converting the phonographic signal into digital format and extracting the timing signal so as to generate an output MIDI timing code for controlling the playback of an external audio signal.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2002Date of Patent: November 16, 2004Assignee: Stanton Magnetics Inc.Inventor: Laurent Cohen

Patent number: 5784478Abstract: An audible environment awareness restoring device allows a person to perceive, through his sense of touch, audible sounds corresponding to the human voice. A bone conduction speaker or transducer is mounted against a person's body, preferably against the sternum. An audio signal from one or more microphones is fed to the bone conduction speaker or transducer which converts the audio signal to vibrations. The bone conduction speaker or transducer transmits the vibrations to the person's rib-cage which will then resonate in synchronism with the input audio signal.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 1997Date of Patent: July 21, 1998Assignee: Stanton Magnetics, Inc.Inventor: Peter Untersander

Patent number: 5687244Abstract: A bone conduction speaker and mounting system allows a person to perceive audible sounds, such as music, through his sense of touch. A bone conduction speaker or transducer is mounted against a person's body, preferably against the sternum. An audio signal is fed to the bone conduction speaker or transducer which converts the audio signal to vibrations. The bone conduction speaker or transducer transmits the vibrations to the person's rib-cage which will then resonate in synchronism with the input audio signal. The audio signal may also be simultaneously fed to regular audio speakers to allow a person to hear as well as feel the audible sounds or music.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 1996Date of Patent: November 11, 1997Assignee: Stanton Magnetics, Inc.Inventor: Peter Untersander

Patent number: 5555554Abstract: A headset speaker is provided in which a driver is provided in the dome of a speaker earcup and the dome has at least one vent aperture. The vent hole is closed by a movable closure having a corresponding opening therein that permits the size of the opening into the dome to be logarithmically varied between a fully open and fully closed position. A Thuras tube tuned to enhance bass frequencies is provided extending between the driver side and rear of the earcup. An opening to the Thuras tube remains fully closed by the movable closure unless the cup vent aperture is fully closed at which time the Thuras tube is opened.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 1995Date of Patent: September 10, 1996Assignee: Stanton Magnetics, Inc.Inventors: Alan Hofer, Walter O. Stanton
